Need help finding wheels

[BashingBrian]

So, I need some wheels with 17mm hex, offset would preferably be of Arrma style and have the bead type in the pic.. they were originally Aliexpress specials tyres were great wheels not so much, so looking to replace wheels.

They are slightly smaller than Arrma and Traxxas wheels in diameter but about the same width, I don’t beleive they are 2.8”, and the certainly aren’t 3.8” I tried these Traxxas ones but they are quite big in diameter and it’s a struggle to stretch the tyres on.!!

Anyone have any suggestions please ..

Before I destroyed them…

Only if you want crawler wheels!

Why not standard 1/8 truggy?

Get away from the silly proprietary stuff, and you have a TON of options. Super easy to do with that platform and 17mm hexes..

My only advice would be 'dont buy tire/wheel combos from aliexpress'.

Negative Ghostrider. They’re 4.0. Wheels and tires selection for DAYS, and handle better, as well as last longer. It’ll feel like a completely different vehicle.

Those tires look like they came from ZD Racing Pirates truggy. Are they 3.2" wheels?

I think they're 3.5" ish, oh well, looks like I'll be stretching them over the Traxxass wheel I've got

Subtract the width of the lip x2 for the measurement of the wheel. You don't measure outside to outside.

Got some HPI’s in the mail, maybe these will fit better

 

[BashingBrian]

Finally...
Wheels arrived ages ago now, I only just round to gluing them today, absolutely perfect fit.
They are HPI Warlock #105801 in black chrome..

Those look great!

Those look great!

I'm not actually sure if I like them, may change my mind once they're fitted on a truck
The wheel design is very retro custom looking, almost like they need spinners..

Keep your eyes on the swinging pocket watch, your eyelids are getting heavy, you are getting sleepy, very sleepy. Now relax, can you hear my voice? Good. Now think to yourself, "These wheels are the bomb, I don't know why I was doubting them, they look killer". When I snap my fingers you will awaken feeling fresh and in love with these wheels. "SNAP!"
